I have just heard from a good friend - great sadness in her family as one person has become very dependant and has had to go into care for her final years, and another is now alone and has to live with pain. Of course I am visiting and in contact - but there is little I can do apart from offer friendship and understanding. Both are worth while - but it also makes me think all over again with great gratitude about my own good fortune. At the moment, apart from some aches here and there, Mr Apple and I are well, safe and warm at home, able to walk, meet friends, and look after ourselves. So somehow this leads me to think more about what we can do to give back something in return for our good luck . For me, its supporting charities for people suffering or in need, refugees who are desperate and would give so much to be able to go into their kitchen and boil a kettle, and share some of the good things we have with other people. It isn't 'enough' - but it's something. I know lots of other people do not have our good fortune - but I also know that even with little to offer many people do give with their time and from their hearts.
